Coconut Barfi

Grate the coconut.
Add 1 cup of water to the sugar and prepare a thick syrup - strain the syrup if required
Add the grated coconut
Keep stirring till it becomes a hard mixture.
Fried bits of cashew may be added at this stage with a little amount of ghee
Keep mixing for a little more time. The mixture (according to the recipe book) will swell
Add cardamom powder
Pour over a greased plate and spread evenly ( slightly thick). Tap for a smooth surface.
Cut into pieces.
Cool (essential) and then store in tins.

( Just in case the barfi does not stay in the form of squares when cut, this could happen if the sugar syrup has not attained the right consistency , just roll them into little balls ( ladoos) and wrap them separately and keep in tin. The taste remains the same). Food Colouring can be added sometime in between if you want colourful barfi!!

About Me

I actually hate to cook. But, the elder daughter wanted some recipes written for her, I found it simpler to post them online and thus this blog was born. Off and on, I do try some new recipes which feature here as well. I admit that taking pictures and posting the recipe is a motivation to get into the kitchen.
Essentially a vegetarian kitchen , you will find a few non vegetarian recipes here too - made for my children.
Feb 2012 - an update after 4 years of blogging -
Over the years of food blogging, I have developed an interest in food that even surprises me! I still enter the kitchen reluctantly, but I am always excited about trying out something new and sharing it here! Blogging has its advantages!!
